I don't even know where to begin with how amazing our experience was with Heather. From the very first meeting, my husband and I felt like we had known Heather for years. Her energetic but calming presence was exactly what we were looking for in a birth doula.
Prior to the birth, Heather provided us with two in-home visits, going over valuable information and resources, discussing our birth options and preferences, and walking us through a variety of positions and comfort measures. These visits were invaluable to us, as they helped build our confidence and preparedness for the medication-free Birth Center birth we had hoped for.
Having Heather on our birth team was by far one of the best decisions we made. She provided us support while also empowering us to be in charge of our birth experience. We had the calm, peaceful, natural birth of our dreams thanks in large part to Heather's gentle, positive spirit and the knowledge and experience she has gained from years in the profession. Heather’s doula practice is informed by her background in yoga and physical therapy, which we found very valuable.
After our son was born, Heather visited us in our home two more times to follow up, provide support for the postpartum time, and go over our birth experience—she took extremely detailed notes about the timeline and captured things I never would have remembered had it not been for her. At 5 weeks postpartum, we continue to stay in touch through her other lines of work as well. I have enjoyed attending Heather’s Prenatal and Baby Yoga classes and look forward to trying out her Core and Floor class to learn more about re-strengthening my pelvic floor.
Heather often signs off her emails with “Peace and Light.” She truly embodies these two qualities. I could go on and on, but will leave it at this: My husband and I can't recommend Heather enough!
